Summary: Benrey’s sure that their return isn’t welcome. They weren’t trying to come back, it just sort of happened. If Gordon would only let them explain-! Ah, but that’ll never happen. They had already blown whatever slim chances they had of Gordon liking them even a little bit way before Xen was even a thing that they had to deal with. It’s fine though. It’s not like they expected anything else.————————Or the fic where I project all my problems into Benrey because that’s what you do when you kin someone like Benrey jejsksnxjjd

Pain. That was the last thing Benrey remembered feeling. Pain and then everything went dark. Where were they? What happened? Something about being back on Xen and a passport... they shouldn’t think too hard about it. Thoughts were always tricky. Messy. Hard to put words to what they were feeling. But that was ok. Their feelings were only for them. Not anyone else. That’s how it had always been. Don’t let anyone know what you’re thinking, that way you can’t hurt anyone or be hurt yourself. It was safer. 

Existing in this strange dark space kind of sucked though. It was hard to really call it being alive because, well, Benrey wasn’t dead. They couldn’t be killed by merely destroying a few passports. Not to say they couldn’t die, they could, but it would be a much harder task to kill them than the Science Team had thought. But that didn’t matter anymore. Benrey supposed they’d never be able to see any of their friends again, and it was their fault. Sure, they hadn’t been in complete control of themselves during the entire fight on Xen, but no one would believe them if they said that. Better to stay in this strange limbo than to impede where they weren’t wanted. 

“...Benrey? Like two months?” A voice echoed from somewhere (Benrey didn’t know where, space and direction were difficult in this void like place). It sounded like Gordon and Benrey found themself perking up at that notion, instinctively pushing themselves toward the source of the voice, though he couldn’t tell where it came from.

“Mm. Yes, two months seems about right, though I recon time on Xen moved a bit differently than it does on Earth, Gordon!” Another voice, Dr. Coomer maybe, spoke then and Benrey listened. The older scientist sounded neither happy nor sad when he spoke, just like he were stating a fact. Benrey couldn’t blame him for keeping his true feeling away from the conversation, they knew they wouldn’t be anything good. 

Oddly enough, as the conversation continued and the voices of Bubby and Tommy were added to the mix, the dark void space slowly grew lighter. Benrey almost didn’t notice at first, but it was definitely lightening up in here. And- were those shapes? Benrey wasn’t sure and they didn’t want to think too hard about it, they were already getting a massive headache, so they opted to shut their eyes and keep listening to the conversation. 

“-kind of miss them,” Tommy’s voice spoke then, and there were a few murmurs of assent from the others. 

“Well, I’m actually glad they’re not here.”

“Now, Gordon, you don’t really mean that,” Dr. Coomer countered, something knowing in his voice that Benrey couldn’t place. They could almost imaging the disapproving-father look he was giving Gordon and they felt themselves smile. 

“Uh, yeah, I do actually mean that. They tried to kill us.” Gordon’s tone was so very matter-of-fact that the smile fell from Benrey’s face almost as soon as it came. 

“Wasn’t my fault,,,” they tried to tell him, knowing their voice wouldn’t reach. They wanted so badly to just /explain/ to Gordon what had actually happened, that they weren’t in control of themselves, that it was their coding and they were trying to fight back against it. But they couldn’t. They had so many things they wanted to say but Gordon would never be able to hear them. If they could just—

C R A S H!!

The conversation came to an abrupt halt. As Benrey fell right in the middle of the living room this conversation was taking place in. They groaned as they pushed themselves to a sitting position, wincing as they put weight into the wrist they landed on. It wasn’t twisted or anything - they couldn’t be hurt like that - but it still hurt from taking the brunt of their fall. 

Blinking in the bright light, they took a look around the room. They were on a coffee table in front of a couch where Tommy and Dr. Coomer sat. Bubby took the armchair next to the sofa and Gordon sat on a brightly colored bean bag. 

No one spoke for a heartbeat and Benrey felt themself shift under everyone’s gaze. There was so much they wanted to say. So much they needed to explain. If the words could only come out in a way everyone would understand...

“Uh, yo,” was all that came out.


	2. Those Drapes on the Wall Can’t Shut Out the Silence

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Ok so I know I posted the prologue today but I just finished the first chapter and the instant gratification of immediately posting it is screaming at me so here we are

Tommy’s house wasn’t so bad. There was the guest room the older scientist had lent to Benrey (clearly unaware that Benrey didn’t technically need to sleep), the living room with the ps3 and all the games (where Benrey spent most of their time), and his dog, Sunkist, was nice enough, though Benrey wasn’t entirely sure what you did with a dog, he appreciated the company she offered anyway. 

After his sudden appearance in Gordon’s flat, things had, predictably, not gone great. Gordon had turned around and left down the hall muttering something like “I’m asleep. I’m asleep. This is a nightmare. This can’t be real I can’t be awake. No. I’m not dealing with this right now.” Before he turned into another room and disappeared from Benrey’s line of sight. Bubby outright told Benrey he didn’t trust them, blunt as ever, and Benrey honestly couldn’t find it in themselves to blame him. They wouldn’t trust them either. 

Which perhaps made it all the more shocking when Tommy declared that he did trust the entity, causing them to snap their gaze to his direction with a barely audible “wha-?”

“I- I still trust you,” he said again, shrugging under the alien’s gaze, “I don’t think, Uh, I don’t think you wanted to kill us.”

“You certainly weren’t acting like yourself, Benrey!” Dr. Coomer put in then, seeming to be thinking back to what happened on Xen. Benrey turned his gaze to the floor. Xen. He didn’t like thinking about that. It made him feel awful, particularly when he remembered that he could’ve done something to stop himself attacking, he should’ve been able to do something more, should’ve tried harder. If he had only tried harder to fight back against himself they wouldn’t be having this conversation right now and he wouldn’t feel like such a failure. Well, no, he’d still feel like a failure but for other reasons. 

“...with me? For the, uhm, for the time being?” Tommy was talking to them. They hadn’t been paying attention. Fucking moron, pay attention to when people are talking to you and stop zoning out!

“Uh, sure, yeah. Sounds cool, Tommy,” he didn’t know what he was agreeing to but he figured Tommy would fill him in later. 

And he did. When Benrey had left with Tommy five minutes later, they had asked, a little embarrassed but trying to to show that, what he had said earlier. Tommy had laughed and told them he figured they were going to ask him that and repeated his question from earlier. He had asked if Benrey wanted to stay with him for the time being and Benrey was quick to agree again. Tommy smoked then and went on rambling about nothing as he drove to his house, which wasn’t actually that far away, while Benrey gazed out the window. 

This whole situation was so strange to them. They’d come back from ‘death’ before, but it was never like this. They had always made the conscious choice to come back and this time it was like it wasn’t their decision to make. Almost like someone else had decided they wanted them around and pushed a button saying ‘Spawn Benrey’ or something like that. 

The idea was almost laughable. Even if Tommy and Coomer trusted him, it was evident that they didn’t really want them around. Tommy, who had been kind enough to offer Benrey his home, still looked jittery at their very presence in his car. Even so, he was being so nice. So Benrey chose to give him the benefit of the doubt. 

——

The following days were honestly kind of boring, though Benrey still found little things to be enjoyable, namely the ps3 and endless supply of movies on Netflix. Sunkist was pretty fun too, Tommy let them take her on a short walk sometimes and while they didn’t know what that really meant at first, they soon got the hang of it and looked forward to taking her out every once in a while. 

Dr. Coomer and Bubby came by every so often to check in on the two of them, which was nice and all, but they were acting like nothing had even happened when it was all Benrey could think about. How could they just move on and forget something like what he had done? 

Gordon seemed to be the only one on the same page as Benrey, having never showed up at Tommy’s house once in the days following Benrey’s reappearance. Tommy did go to visit Gordon, though, he even offered to take Benrey too, but in all honesty Benrey didn’t that that would be the best idea. They had hurt Gordon the most on Xen and Gordon seemed content to pretend they didn’t exist and if that’s what he wanted, well, Benrey wasn’t going to complain too much. 

Even if he did find himself missing the physicist more than he’d willingly admit.

“You know,” Tommy was saying as he and Benrey sat on the couch on the fifth day having them back, watching shitty horror movies, “I was- I was thinking about the day you- the day you came back.”

“Oh yea? Ranking my fall onto Feetman’s coffee table? Was a pro gamer move for sure. You wish you had as much skill falling on a coffee table as I do.” They rambled, more for something to do than any real reason. Tommy shook his head. 

“No I just realized that Mr.- Mr. Freeman had never actually, uhm, he’d never actually said your name since we got out of Black Mesa until the day you came- you came back.” Benrey though about this for a minute, certain it meant nothing.

“Oh.” They responded, unsure of what else to say so they didn’t say anything more on the subject and, thankfully, Tommy took the hint and kept watching the movie in relative silence, only to comment occasionally on why things wouldn’t work, or how the protagonist should have seen whatever coming. Benrey rooted for the killer but that was mostly just to get on Tommy’s nerves.

The movie came to an end all too soon, and Tommy stood, rubbing Sunkist’s head with a yawn and announcing that he was going to go to bed. Benrey offered a wave as a goodnight and watched as he and Sunkist wandered over to his room. 

“You know,” Tommy said, stopping just before his bedroom door and looking back to the alien through tired eyes, “he’ll never admit it, but I think Gordon- I think Gordon misses you too. Just so you know,” he smiled and retreated into his room. 

Benrey didn’t know what to say to that, so he said nothing, turning to look out of the window rather than answer. They didn’t really think Gordon would miss them, but they did let out a short string of Sweet Voice at the thought. Navy blue.

	3. And You See He’s Better Off Without You

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Ah yes. A bit of a longer chapter this time.
> 
> Tw for anxiety being a bitch

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid! Why did they let themselves be dragged into this?! Sure, it was one thing to make a comment about joining the Science Team on their next get together or whatever (as a joke, of course, Benrey absolutely did not miss having them all together), but it was another thing to be dragged to Coomer and Bubby’s house against his will. Even if the show he put on of not wanting to go was just that, a show. Still they didn’t want to sit through hours of awkward jokes and forced conversation. 

They knew everyone was trying to move on and heal after Black Mesa but they had it in their head that them being back was impeding on that healing. After all, they were the cause of the worst trauma. They didn’t want to be the reason anyone was sent into a panic attack. 

“Ah! Hello Tommy! Hello Benrey!” Dr. Coomer’s voice called out and Benrey snapped their attention to where it had come from. How were they already here? And when did Benrey get out of the car?

“Hello, Dr. Coomer!” Tommy replied as cheerful as ever, stepping into the house as Benrey followed behind him like some sort of shadow. They pulled on the strings on the chullo they wore anxiously, the hat had been something they found in Tommy’s coat closet, though why someone who had lived in New Mexico his entire life owned a chullo Benrey didn’t know. Still, they were grateful for the hat, having lost their Black Mesa helmet somehow (it was the one thing they didn’t have when they had reappeared). That first day before they found the garment, they felt so vulnerable and open, like they were on a petri dish under a microscope, constantly under the scrutiny of everyone in the world.

It might have been stupid, but the hat made them feel more secure. More whole. More... themself. Still they couldn’t let the stress of the current situation get to them. Stress liked to do weird things to them, growing extra eyes and morphing their hands into long claw-like things to just name two. It wasn’t exactly pretty. 

He tuned into the conversation again, having found himself sitting on the couch rather than following Tommy around. When did he get here? He didn’t remember sitting down. What if he wasn’t in control again? No, no of course he was in control, he’d know if he wasn’t.... right?

“He’s late,” Bubby remarked, looking to the clock on the microwave. 

“I’m sure he’ll- he’ll be here soon!” Tommy reassured, handing Benrey a piece of popcorn from the bowl on the coffee table. Benrey took it wordlessly and rolled it around in their hands rather than eat it. Just for something to keep their hands occupied. 

Conversation moved to food and what they would have for dinner (Coomer said something about having frozen pizzas). And then the conversation shifted to what everyone was up to nowadays, Tommy doing a lot of volunteer work at shelters and schools (often leaving Benrey alone in the house), Coomer and Bubby said something about still being in correspondence with Black Mesa, but didn’t actually say what they were ‘corresponding’ about, no matter how much Benrey teased. 

“Aw, c’mon, fire guy, you can tell ol’ Benrey what dark secrets you’re involved in! It’ll, uh, be such an epic gamer move,” They continued to badger Bubby, still rolling the piece of popcorn between their fingers. 

“Well,” Bubby sighed and Benrey perked up, thinking that the scientist was going to spill his secrets, “if you must know, Dr. Coomer and I are-“

He was cut off by a knocking on the door. Benrey felt themself tense up slightly, through they were positive their indifferent exterior remained as intact as ever. Dr. Coomer bustled over to the door and Benrey listened for that signature “hello Gordon!” pretending his mind wasn’t running a mile a minute and thinking of all the worst possible outcomes. They wanted to leave. If they left then nothing bad could happen. But they were trapped. They didn’t know where they could go. They couldn’t go back to Tommy’s house, they had no idea how to get there! And then Gordon appeared around the corner and they could’ve sworn they stopped breathing all together. 

———

Gordon hated running late and yet here he was. Doing just that. Well, fine. Whatever. If he was going to be running late than he was going to be running late. It wasn’t like he had the ability to stop time or whatever, so he might as well just embrace his lateness. 

Coomer had wanted to get everyone together again. And that included Benrey. Gordon... honestly didn’t know how to feel about their reappearance. He hadn’t wanted to believe it at first, claiming that he had to be dreaming cuz they had /killed them/. They should be dead. But somehow he found himself almost... relieved... that they were back. Like some weight that had been on his shoulders the past two months had been lifted. It was strange. 

God... the last two months. 

Gordon... hadn’t been doing the best the last two months. He’d pulled himself together at least a little bit in the last couple weeks. But mostly he’d just been hiding in his bed, away from the world, away from his friends. Away from himself. He should really be going to therapy, huh? 

Whatever. That’s not important anymore. Everyone heals in their own way and apparently Gordon’s way of healing was to shut literally everything out until he couldn’t anymore. And the thing that forced him out of hiding had been his friends. Dr. Coomer had sent him a text that said ‘Gordon I am coming over, and you’re not allowed to refuse.’ He had groaned at the message when he received it, but now he would smile at it. 

It was nice to know his friends weren’t going to give up on him. But he also missed his son, Joshua. He hadn’t been allowed to see him recently because of the situation he was trying to recover from, but he had been assured that he would be able to see Joshie soon enough. Though how soon ‘soon enough’ was he didn’t know. Still, it was something to look forward to. 

Sighing, he pushed himself out of the blanket cocoon that was his bed and forced himself to get dressed. A simple orange turtleneck and jeans would be fine. No one would care what he was wearing but somehow he worried that he wasn’t putting enough effort in and changed into three other outfits before settling once again on the first thing he put on. His hair was a mess of knots too so he brushed that out before deciding he didn’t want to be /too/ late and started the short walk to Dr. Coomer’s house. 

It was getting late outside, and the cooling desert air of New Mexico felt nice on his skin. His room was always warm, but especially under the four different comforters he had on his bed. Gordon tried not to let his mind wander too much, but when you try not to think of things it almost always ends up that you think of that thing. So, fine. Whatever. Let his mind have free reign. With Benrey there too he wasn’t sure how things would go. They could go very bad (the expected thing), or they could be relatively ok (not likely). 

It was hard to tell if the weight in his chest was from anticipation or fear. Probably both. But he was here now so he just sighed and reached up to knock on the door, which swung open a few seconds later. 

“Hello, Gordon!” Dr. Coomer greeted cheerfully, a smile plastered on his face and a smaller smile forming on Gordon’s own face too as he responded “hello, Dr. Coomer,”

He was led into the house then, though he already knew the layout pretty well, through the kitchen and into the living room.

He stopped in the doorway, catching sight of Benrey, the person he /killed/. Alive and sitting on the couch. Their expression was as indifferent as ever and that fact alone almost angered Gordon so much. How on earth could they be so calm?! What about their situation made it ok for them to be calm? But then he noticed just how /small/ Benrey looked, curled up into themselves in the corner of the couch, rolling a piece of popcorn between their fingers. Their eyes were marginally wider than normal too, which wasn’t really noticeable at first, but it made Gordon realize something: Benrey was scared. Now the question was weather they were scared of Gordon himself or what they thought Gordon was going to say. 

“Hello, Mr. Freeman!” Tommy announced, catching his attention and he let out a little laugh. 

“Hey, Tommy. You know you don’t have to call me ‘Mr. Freeman’, right? Gordon’s just fine.” He told the older scientist, moving to lean against a wall as conversation continued. 

It was strange how easy he forgot Benrey was even there. It was like they had melted into the couch they sat on and, honestly? If this was how it was going to be with them back? Gordon couldn’t find himself complaining. But that was before the alien stood suddenly, making conversation halt briefly, and bolted down the hall and into the bathroom. Leaving everyone confused.

	4. Reminding me of choices from my past

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Tw for slight body horror (Benrey has seven eyes basically)

The room was silent in the minutes that followed Benrey’s strange disappearance. No one really knew what to do, or why he had suddenly run off. 

“Should someone-?“ Tommy began, but Coomer held up a hand and he fell silent. All eyes in the room fell to Gordon, who flushed under their gazes once he realized they were looking at him. He hadn’t been paying attention to the room, eyes focused on the bathroom door and listening for anything beyond it. 

“Why me?” He asked, “why can’t Tommy check on them?” He was slightly miffed at how they could think of him as the best person to check on the Alien. 

“Because, Dr. Freeman,” Bubby said with an exaggerated sigh, like the reason was the most obvious thing in the world, “you’re clearly the reason they’re reacting like this.”

“He does have a point,” Coomer put in, “this is the first I’ve seen him act this way and all of us have been checking in on them all week.” Tommy nodded along but stayed silent, clearly worried about his friend.

“Fine, fine!” Gordon relented, putting his hands up in surrender, “I’ll check on him!” He pushed himself off of the wall he leaned against and began down the hall. 

In all honestly, Gordon was worried. The minute Bubby mentioned that this was probably as a result of him being here, guilt flooded his stomach. He’d already killed Benrey once before, it was only natural that they were nervous. 

Tentatively, Gordon knocked on the bathroom door, calling softly “Benrey? Are you ok?” Stupid question. Of course he wasn’t ok. He didn’t get a response from the bathrooms occupant so he knocked again. No response. He turned to face the living room where his friends all sat watching and mouthed “now what?” 

“Open the door and check on him,” Bubby supplied, rolling their eyes and grabbing some popcorn from the bowl on the coffee table while Coomer and Tommy both offered Gordon reassuring glances, though Tommy still looked considerably worried. Gordon supposed that made sense, Tommy had known Benrey longer than Gordon had and was the one offering his home to them. Of course he was worried. Gordon sighed and knocked on the door again, saying “Benrey I’m coming in,” before opening the door (which the alien had conveniently forgotten to lock) and entering the room. 

He didn’t notice Benrey right away, his eyes instead falling to the bath rug which was all bunched up and out of place. The things on the counter weren’t in their proper places either but that could’ve just been the result of Bubby and Coomer not putting their shit away. It was only when his gaze fell onto the bathtub that he saw the mass huddled in the corner, trying its best to be as small as possible. 

Something about that image broke something inside Gordon. Benrey had always been one of the most out there of the group, saying what they wanted to say, making stupid jokes and making fun of Gordon specifically. They were never so withdrawn or timid. And seeing them try their best to be as unobtrusive and almost nonexistent as possible made Gordon’s stomach tie up in a knot. 

“Hey,” he said, voice barely above a whisper, as he reached out and placed his hand on Benrey’s shoulder. Only to immediately withdraw it when the alien flinched away violently. “Hey, hey! It’s just me!” He tried to reassure them, but they were shaking, huddled in that corner of the bathtub and not looking up from their knees, chullo pulled so far down their face. “Benrey it’s ok! I’m not going to hurt you!” He didn’t even know his voice could be so soft with anyone except for Joshie, but the situation called for it. 

Benrey didn’t look up from his knees as he mumbled something that Gordon couldn’t quite hear. Probably singing, as some colorful orbs floated around him. Cloudy grey. Gordon didn’t know what that meant but he guessed it wasn’t very good. 

He came to a decision then. Standing slowly, so as to not startle Benrey, he slowly stepped into the tub so he was across from the alien, leaving him some space so he didn’t feel too crowded and knew he had an escape route if he felt he needed to take it. 

“I’m going to put my hand on your shoulder, ok?” He asked, voice soft and didn’t make a move to do what he said until he saw Benrey nodding. “Can you look at me?” This time it took a little longer for Benrey to respond, they seemed to be debating in their head whether or not they should, but Gordon remained patient. Patience with Benrey wasn’t typically a thing he thought he’d ever have to experience, Benrey was one for instant gratification and liked to get things done as soon as possible, often irritated when delays got in their way. But Gordon was willing to be patient with them. If that’s what they needed. 

It took a moment longer for Benrey to follow through with Gordon’s second request, but eventually they did lift their head up and Gordon was met with seven eyes blinking back at him. Which honestly didn’t freak him out as much as it probably should have. Though how the new eyes showed up Gordon didn’t really care to find out right then. What mattered at the moment was Benrey themself and not how many eyes the did or didn’t have. They were breathing pretty quickly and their overall expression read as pretty confused as well as scared. Why were they scared? Were they scared of Gordon?

He didn’t want to believe that that could be true, but, honestly? It made sense. Gordon had killed them. And then two months later, the first time he had spoken their name out loud he appeared from thin air and crashed right into his coffee table. Gordon hadn’t been the nicest to him even before Xen either. And now he felt awful. 

“I’m going to ask you to do some things, ok? Just to help your breathing and your nerves, if that’s alright?” Benrey nodded. “Ok. Can you tell me what you see? Just five things that you see, can you do that?” His voice is soft. 

“Uh,” Benrey tries, and his voice sounds strained, like he’s holding something back, something he knows will leak through if he doesn’t keep it in check. Gordon doesn’t press him on it. “Shower curtain.” He says slowly, five of his eyes focusing on the curtain, the other two on Gordon, who nods for him to keep going. “Counter... the, uh, the shampoo... conditioner... you.”

“Good, ok, now can you tell me four things you hear?” Benrey nods again and relates to Gordon four things they hear and then three things they can touch and two they can smell until their breathing is even with Gordon’s. They close their eyes then and when they open them again they’re back to only having two. “I’ve never seen you get like that before,” Gordon remarks, concern lacing his voice, “what happened?”

Benrey goes to open their mouth to say something but all that comes out is a stream of muted blues and reds and pinks. They look away then, guilt flooding their face. And Gordon squeezes their shoulder reassuringly. 

“I’m sorry,” he says, drawing his hand away and leaning against the wall now. Benrey looks at him quizzically. “For how I’ve been avoiding you lately. And. For what I did.”

“Not your fault.” Benrey mumbles, “had no choice,” it’s unclear if they’re referencing themself or what Gordon did, so he doesn’t comment on it, instead standing and stepping out of the tub, his hand held out toward the alien.

“You ready to return to the chaos?”

A small smile graced Benrey’s face and they take Gordon’s hand.
